370z hard to drive?

The 350Z and like it the 370Z are more difficult to drive than any other stick shift car I've owned, and I've owned a bunch. It's absolutely possible to drive them smoothly with practice, but requires far more "getting used to" than nearly any other car I've ever driven.

Has NOTHING to do with the power level and everything to do with the clutch. I've driven cars with much more HP than the Z that were still far easier to drive.

Thats what I was suggesting, that high horsepower/torque is easier to drive MT because it takes less harmony between gas and clutch release, that extra power gets you where you need to be within the RPM range without "manually" putting your feet there. If that makes any sense...
